Animus Powerlifting: Chicken Shit = Chicken Legs
http://animuspowerlift.blogspot.com/2009/06/chicken-shit-chicken-legs.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. Chicken Shit = Chicken Legs. It's because you're using the LEG PRESS. Worse yet is the big 6'5" linebacker-type who's grunting with 135lbs on the barbell, and stopping at a quarter, no less. And you look at me, the 5'6" Asian kid who isn't even that muscular, squatting down with two plates on each end with ease, still in my warm-up, and going through my full ROM. and what? Because you're a chickenshit, and when you're a chickenshit, you're going to have chicken legs. Or "I'm trying...

Animus Powerlifting: Programming
http://animuspowerlift.blogspot.com/2009/06/programming.html
Monday, June 1, 2009. My planned routine shifts maximal effort days apart and looks like this:. Monday: ME Lower Body. Tuesday: DE Upper Body/ESD. Thursday: DE Lower Body/Parkour in evenings. Friday: ME Upper Body/ESD. In addition to this, I've included, as a mandatory part of the program, soft tissue work as a post-workout recovery phase. This will take place after the post-workout nutrition/meal/shake as part of the recovery process. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Arlington, Virginia, United States.

Animus Powerlifting: July 2009
http://animuspowerlift.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 26, 2009. A Good Spotter is like a Good Wingman. Maybe one of my biggest pet peeves in the gym is watching two buddies get to the bench, load it up with some asinine amount of weight, and proceed to see-saw the bar from either end. "All you, all you! Because he didn't even know he was being a good spot. But it's not just the spotter's problem. Many lifters have no conception of what a "spot" entails. Half the time, I want to leave the guy stapled right there. I think one of my biggest pet pe...

Animus Powerlifting: May 2009
http://animuspowerlift.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2009. So, why powerlifting? And the longer I train in this way, the further ahead I will get compared to the CFers out there. One thing I see with CFers is that they tout Olympic lifting as the absolute best way to develop explosive power, and they just might be correct! But think about this: Olympic lifts are explosive completely bilaterally (you don't explode from a split-jerk, but into it). Yes, this will transfer to Parkour, but how often do we really explode bilaterally? As it sta...

Animus Powerlifting: June 2009

Friday, June 26, 2009. Your Plate Determines Your Body. You know that old adage "You are what you eat"? Well, it's 100% true. In pretty much all cases, your sticking points are going to be determined by what you're putting into your mouth. Control what you eat, and you control what your body looks like, feels like, and performs like. Does this mean that you're not allowed to indulge? There are three possibilities, then: deficit, maintenance, and surplus. In order to lose weight, you must be in defici...

Animus Powerlifting: Movement Before Muscles
http://animuspowerlift.blogspot.com/2009/06/movement-before-muscles.html
Friday, June 19, 2009. There's a tendency in the weight room for people to do a whole slew of accessory exercises before they even get around to being able to bench, squat, deadlift, or even pull-up properly. I was recently asked, "How do I build bigger lats? It took me a while to learn the lifts properly, and I'm still learning. I can squat ATG, but I noticed that I have a slight kyophotic stance in the bottom of the hole. Well. that sucks, but it can be fixed, right? However, the key point is that I wo...
